o you know of any noted
local artist who gives free art
instruction? That seems like a
rare option anywhere— however,
those who are aware of the many benefits
of Monroeville Arts Council know that
is just one of the many perks for those
associated with this local arts group.
Recently, accomplished artist Bob
Bickers taught learners of all abilities
strategies to achieve a realistic landscape
painting. This October 19, from 2
to 4 p.m., Pamela Price will offer her
"Exploring Watercolor" painting class for
all interested persons— free of charge for
instruction. All materials needed will be
provided during these sessions offered
every spring and fall, during MAC's
Educational Outreach Workshop in the
Monroeville Public Library Program
Room. A $10 materials fee will
be assessed for non-members
of MAC. Enrollment for each
of these events is limited to 24
persons. Registration begins
one month prior to each event
date.
If music brings you
enjoyment, Monroeville Arts
Council again meets the needs
of the community with the well
received July concerts series. Held at
Garden City United Methodist Church,
outstanding artists including Etta Cox,
East Winds Symphonic Band and Noel
Quintana and the Latin Jazz Crew
entertain crowds for yet another series of
events held at no charge to the public.
The needs of children are a priority for
this group supportive of the arts. Over
200 children attended a Kids' Art in the
Park event held in June. A wide variety of
creative projects and activities delighted
the youngsters and provided artistic
inspiration and enjoyment for all ages of
children during that day of activities.
On November 16, from 1 to 4 p.m.,
